Über die Zahlennotation

Die Zahlennotation (auch Jianpu oder 简谱 genannt) schreibt jede Melodienote als Zahl von 1 bis 7 statt als Note auf einem Notensystem. Die Zahl zeigt die Stellung der Note in der Tonleiter des Liedes -- nicht ihre genaue Tonhöhe --, sodass dieselbe Melodie unabhängig von der gesungenen Tonart gleich aussieht.

Innerhalb einer Oktave entsprechen die Zahlen 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 den bekannten Solmisationssilben Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti. Ein Punkt über einer Zahl hebt sie um eine Oktave an; ein Punkt darunter senkt sie um eine Oktave ab -- ohne Punkt bleibt es bei der mittleren, so geschriebenen Oktave.

Eine einzelne Zahl dauert einen Schlag. Ein Bindestrich (-) direkt nach einer Zahl hält dieselbe Note einen weiteren Schlag lang. Ein Strich unter einer Zahl verkürzt sie dagegen -- ein Strich ist ein halber Schlag, zwei Striche ein viertel Schlag. Eine 0 ist eine Pause: ein Schlag Stille.

Die Angabe oben auf dem Notenblatt, zum Beispiel "1=C" oder "1=Ab", zeigt, auf welcher Tonhöhe die Stufe 1 ("Do") liegt. Ein Lied in Moll trägt stattdessen die Angabe "6=X" -- Stufe 6 ("La") ist dann der eigentliche Grundton. Akkordsymbole über den Noten (wie "C" oder "G7") werden immer mit ihren gewohnten Buchstabennamen geschrieben, nie als Zahlen.

Bei der Angabe "1=C" klingen die Zahlen 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 als C D E F G A B. Bei "1=G" klingen dieselben Zahlen dagegen als G A B C D E F# -- gleiche Form, andere Tonart.

The essence of the Kingdom is

The Kingdom Its Reality

English944
1
The essence of the Kingdom is
A life that’s under heaven’s rule,
A life whose nature is divine
With Christ experienced in full.
2
Such is this life: in spirit poor,
With heart repentant, mourning, meek,
Which is to others merciful
And purely God Himself doth seek;
3
As sons of God the peace to make,
For righteousness e’en suffering pain;
Reviled and hurt for Jesus’ sake,
Exceeding joyfulness to gain;
4
As salt to kill corruption rife,
In darkness shining as the light,
In heart and action right and true,
In perfect love to claim no right.
5
This life self-glory doth renounce
And ever for God’s kingdom prays;
It trusts in God for every need
And seeks His kingdom first always.
6
’Tis strict with self, with others kind,
And always dealing with the Lord;
It ever does the Father’s will
And acts according to His word.
7
To Satan it does not give ground,
Nor to the world, or self, or sin,
But seeks beneath the heaven’s rule
God’s full authority to win.
8
’Tis such a life which subjugates
All things with pow’r to God’s behest;
The time it hastens when the Lord
Will here His kingdom manifest.

"Joseph's life under the heavenly vision was the life of the kingdom of the heavens described in Matthew 5, 6, and 7. According to the constitution of the heavenly kingdom revealed in these chapters in Matthew, our anger must be subdued and our lust must be conquered (Matt. 5:21-32). If we claim to be the kingdom people yet we cannot subdue our anger or conquer our lust, we are finished. Instead of being in the kingdom, we are on the seashore. We are those giving vent to our anger and indulging in lust. But all the kingdom people subdue their anger and conquer their lust. This is the kingdom life.

In the kingdom life today, kings are being trained. We, the kingdom people in the kingdom life, are being trained to be kings, to be Josephs, to be the reigning aspect of the mature life. For this, we must subdue our anger and conquer our lust. What a wonderful picture Joseph's life is of our experience today! Day by day we are subduing our anger and conquering our lust. Instead of agreeing with our anger or cooperating with our lust, we reject our anger and condemn our lust because we are the reigning aspect of the mature life. We have the constitution of Christ within us, and we are being prepared to reign as kings.

A life like Joseph's always has the presence of the Lord (Gen. 39:2-5, 21-23). Wherever the presence of the Lord is, there is authority. If you have the presence of the Lord, the authority of the Lord will be with you. For example, in captivity Daniel had Jehovah's presence; therefore, Jehovah's authority was with him. Even a child in a family may have the Lord's presence and therefore be the genuine authority in that family. In the case of Joseph, Potiphar, an officer in Pharaoh's palace, was in control of things. Eventually, however, Potiphar was under Joseph's control because Joseph had Jehovah's presence. Also consider Joseph's experience in prison. Although there was a ruler over the prison, eventually, this ruler was not the actual ruler. Instead, Joseph, a prisoner who had the presence of God, became the ruler. Both in Potiphar's house and in the prison, Joseph became king.

Wherever the constitution of Christ goes with the presence of God, there will be the reigning part. In the coming kingdom it will be this part that will be the co-kings with Christ in the kingdom of the heavens. Thus, the reigning aspect of the mature life is a life that always enjoys the presence of the Lord. The authority in this universe is the Lord Himself. Wherever His presence is, there is authority, the ruling power. As long as we have the Lord's presence, we have authority, even if we are in prison. Although we may be prisoners, we will eventually become rulers. We will rule wherever we are. This indicates that we are the reigning aspect of the mature life."

(Joseph - The Reigning Aspect of a Mature Believer; Chapter 2; pg. 28-29)

May we enthrone the Lord in the center of our being so that, out of His throne, there will be a river of water flowing out to nourish us and also water others for God’s building!

Hallelujah, out of the throne of God set up in our being flows a river of water of life to water us, nourish us, and supply us! 😀

This life self-glory doth renounce and ever for God’s kingdom prays; It trusts in God for every need and seeks His kingdom first always. ” I read the first message of the Life-Study of John and a sentence caught my attention. It said, “Life is the Triune God dispensed and wrought into our being”. Further on in the message it says that this life transforms us. I just like the fact that the kingdom life renounces self-glory and when put in the context of the Life-Study of John receives the Triune God which in turn transforms us. Praise the Lord!
